Route your domain email to an external server

Sometimes you will want to route your domain email to an external email server such as GMAIL.

If your DNS is not managed by our nameservers, you will need to let our server know that your domain's MX is hosted externally by following the steps below:


Log into cPanel and go to 'Email Routing'

Set email routing to "Remote Mail Exchanger" and click "Change"
